If the pans you are inquiring about are the same in the photo on the stainless steel 12 piece cookware set then the outside is stainless and the bottom is copper.

Mine were stainless on outside and as I recall they all had copper bottoms. I gave them away after about a month because I didn't like them at all. It said non-stick; however, only the skillets were non-stick. Also, if took FOREVER for them to heat up and boil anything, even on high setting. I ordered some Cooks Essentials from QVC (which I had for years previously), and I'm very pleased with them. I was hoping to save money by purchasing Paula Deen set but that was a mistake. Hope this helps--sorry.

I purchased this set 2/18/12; it is stainless steel and all of the pots/pans have copper bottoms.

Each pot and pan is entirely stainless steel and all have copper bottoms. The skillets have a non-stick coating (black). I have this set and I love them with the exception of having to hand-wash them. They are not dishwasher safe. Despite following package insert about caring for the copper--the bottoms are no longer the pretty, shiny surfaces they were when they were new.

Yes, everything including the basket & stem is stainless. It's a really nice pot, you can't go wrong here!

Outside bottom is smooth black with copper rings. Inside bottom is smooth black with a grey sort of chicken wire pattern and a heat sensor in the center.

Appears to be all stainless steel but no for sure. Overall very happy with pot. Probably going to buy 10 gallon equivalent.

No. It is solid stainless steel all around, including the bottom. But the bottom is a dull brushed stainless (not shiny). It's like a pot for the stove.

Inside they are stainless (ceramic). I think the outside bottom is aluminium.

The pot is metal on the exterior and the same on the interior but the interior seems like it's coated with a dark "non-stick like" color. My wife loves it and I got huge hubby points.

Mine is Stainless Steel. If you have metal flakes they can be accidentally coming from outside sources. All Pots and Pans require to be washed with soapy water and rinsed and dried thoroughly before use. That's a rule of thumb. (The metal flakes can also come from the electronic parts during the assembly.) It's your job to clean the pot before use, thereafter there should be no metal flakes. There's a real simple way to determine whether SS or Chrome, so you never have to ask again Take a magnet from your frig note holder (any magnet) if it doesn't stick its excellent Stainless. Which is called food Stainless and doesn't rust. Cheaper Stainless has less Zinc and can hold a light magnet. Usually found in outside BBQ's they sell as Stainless but is crap Stainless and will ultimately rust (usually spotted rust marks). Zink is very very expensive, so only the best Stainless contains the right amount of Zinc. If a magnet sticks like glue, then its metal, or chromed metal. Keep that in mind. (There various types of Stainless, only Food Stainless is of the highest grade.) Non Food such as an Outside Bar-B-Q is usually junk Stainless, You have to buy a Weber to get better Stainless, of course the price is higher, but will last you a lifetime. Stainless isn't Stainless on average items, and magnet test will help identify the quality.

It is not shinny silver nor stainless steel. Best described: metallic medium grayish color. Benn using mine and Tiger brand rice cooker is one of the best brand to have. Make sure it is made in Djapan and not China. Mine is made in Japan. Good luck!

Not inside the pot or on the lid. Everything that touches food is 100% stainless steel. The exterior cladding on the bottom of the pan could be aluminum, but it's difficult to tell. The pan is really a good pan and well built, with a good quality stainless steel.

It's stainless steel, you can't go wrong. We let the entire pot get black with coffee stain (lazy); came back beautiful with an SOS pad and some elbow grease...elbows ain't what they used to be. Hope this helped.

It does not seem to be stainless steel, it seems chrome,but it may show finger print less.The rice pot is removable to be washed, out side is not to be immerse in water at all.

This one is a metallic silver. My old one was white. Plus the handles are different; on this newer version the handle is all part of the pot, my old one the handles were plastic and screwed on. I also put them side-by-side and the newer version is slightly shorter.

I share your concerns with anything made/coming out of China! Pot is a beautiful stainless steel w/copper bottom. No leaching. I am a vegetarian, very sensitive to impurities. I enjoy every cup of tea I make. I love my tea pot.

This pot is completely stainless steel. The only black is the handle and the lids knob.
